A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider God-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, wrongly believing that he has the Gods on his side.
–Aristotle, Politica bk v (ca. 340 BCE)

“For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings.

What did he do? Give Cheney some lessons on how to aim better? (In this film Ratatouille, an old lady gets some bullets to shoot at the rats, brandname: Cheney!)
Did you see Ratatouille?

Fcuking awesome movie!
Good movie.
You know, I know someone who tried to kill a rat with a shotgun. Hilarious.
Was she/he a hick?
I’m not sure… it was my property manager’s husband (a couple years ago). I thought there was a mouse/rat in my wall and I called her to see what I should do about it and she told me the story. As far as my wall goes… it turned out to be a great big frog stuck in a paper shopping bag and he was trying to hop out… so all you could hear in the middle of the night was “scratch scratch scratch!” It was so funny. I felt like such an idiot when I called her back to tell her it was a frog.
hahahahahhahaha….You should!
